Some pop music today actually sounds good to me. Ya. And I think it's gotten better. And I listen to it sometimes. I listen to it a lot these days actually because it makes me feel good; it makes me feel like a star. It balloons my ego. Like all the girls in the club are staring at me, like I'm just reeling on the edge of awesome, like I'm more important than I actually am. It reminds me of my younger brother and the way that he parties: like everything and everyone is stupendous.
And you know what? I don't care. I don't care if I know that's an artificial feeling sold in the guise of a song. Because I think today, if you can identify something that you like for whatever reason, you should cling to it. Teen years are for being reckless, reckless about the internal anguish you can feel over the way people think about you. Most of the continuing process of getting older is anesthetizing discomfort by identifying resources that you truly like and then utilizing those resources to improve your daily life. Whether they be gourmet lollipops, the "Lion King" game for Super Nintendo or Wiz Khalifa, using those resources is a way to make life better.
So, ya. I like Wiz Khalifa's "Rolling Papers". Because it sounds good to me and it's catchy and makes me feel like the shit and I'm a person and I can do whatever I want. All we can do is hoard the things to like.
